Copying URLs


Items in the library such as analysis files have a unique URL. By copying this URL and pasting it into a web browser, you can open that file in Spotfire or perhaps save the file to disk.

Also, if you have web client access to your library, a second URL is available for each analysis file. By copying this to a web browser, the analysis will be opened in the Spotfire web client running in your web browser.

To copy a URL and open in Spotfire:

  1. In the Library Administration tool, click an analysis file to select it.

    Response: Under the Link to Selected Item heading,  a URL is displayed.

  2. Right-click the URL and select Copy.

  3. Open a web browser and paste the URL into the address field.

    Response: The analysis is opened in a new instance of Spotfire.

To copy a URL and open in a Spotfire web client:

  1. In the Library Administration tool, click an analysis file to select it.

    Response: Under the Link to Selected Item heading, a Web client URL is displayed.

  2. Right-click the Web client URL and select Copy.

  3. Open a web browser and paste the URL into the address field.

    Response: The analysis is opened in the Spotfire web client.

To copy a URL for unknown clients:

If you want to send a link to a larger audience where you do not know whether they have access to Spotfire Analyst or just a web client, you can use a link to a redirect page instead.

  1. In the Library Administration tool, right-click an analysis file or information link.

  2. Select Copy Link to Analysis > Link that Lets the Recipients Choose Client from the pop-up menu.

    Response: A URL leading to a redirect page is copied to your clipboard. Here, each user can select whether to open the analysis in the Windows client, a web client or to Download the analysis file.
